OCS wins five-year deal at National Football Centre in Burton on Trent
OCS has won a lucrative five-year signing with the Football Association (FA) at the recently opened National Football Centre in Burton on Trent.
The contract at the £100m Staffordshire "Mecca" for football students will see OCS deliver catering, front of house, security, cleaning, mechanical and electrical services.
OCS will introduce a sustainability park, including an allotment which will generate produce for the catering operation from beehives, composting and recycling areas.
Martin Gammon, managing director for OCS Group UK, said: "Our contracts at sites such as the KIA Oval, the NEC and now St George's Park demonstrate our capability in supporting leading-edge sporting and leisure facilities."
The 330-acre site, which opened on in July, is the base for all coaching and development work by the FA and includes 12 world-class outdoor pitches as well as a full-sized indoor pitch.
State-of-the-art hydrotherapy suites, biomechanic training gyms, video analysis amenities, coaching suites and sports science facilities are also key elements of the facility.
